Not seen such Bravery!
On the same day he left he was replaced at the albion by Dale Stephens...
I know which player I'd rather have.

Don't agree. As soon as a player effectively goes on strike 'because his head isn't right', refusing to play, he loses my respect completely.
He was always going to get his move and it was a step up for him, better standard, more money etc., but the bottom line is, he couldn't cut it in the prem and is nothing more than a good championship player.
Thanks to his actions I now also know he is an unscrupulous snake with few morals.

Northeners will tell you how good the countryside is North of Leeds but South of Sunderland in North Yorkshire and I wouldnt expect many Sunderland players to live in Sunderland as Newcastle players dont live in Newcastle. Probably Leeds players dont live in Leeds as it isnt like Brighton to live in.

Can't think of many better players in a holding role as part of a midfield 5 in he Championship. Stephens & Kayal would be wasted in that position but not Bridcutt. Good luck to him but his 'strike' has left a bitter taste for many; a particularly stupid thing to do if you cared about the club and fans.

Yes. Thats the end for me, once a player ' downs tools ' Wednesday have got it right now with Forestieri. He is saying to the fans..." I don't want to play for you anymore " Bridcutt did the same, once his head had been turned by that paragon of virtue called Gus Poyet.
Chelsea told Bridcutt that in their opinion he would struggle to hold down a place in the PL. They said they felt he could carve out a good career at Championship level. They were right. I have no sympathy for players going on strike and Bridcutt should be ashamed of himself. Player of the year two seasons running, the fans loved him and how did he repay them. He was rightly booed when he returned to the Amex.
The majority of players don't care about clubs or fans. Players like Calde, Bobby or Rosenior are few and far between. We like to think they care, but in reality, they're just doing a job.
I worked for 50 years but there's only one job I became emotionally attached to.
I cared for all the companies I worked for, I still do for the sake of my pension!

I don't have too much against him. I can understand his desire to leave and play in the Premier League, although he went about it totally wrong. But I don't know how you could say that he's filled his potential AND MORE. He's found his level and wasted two years of his career in exchange for a big payday is what he's done.
He played 19 games for Sunderland and only started 8 times. That's not fulfilling your potential. That's failing to make the step up.
Do you boo Lewis Dunk? He refused to play this time last year.
I never boo my own team.
Bit different for me. The match he missed was Southend as I recall, a meaningless cup match and I believe the club left him out 'as his head had been turned'. He was with the squad at Fulham but was left out.
Bridcutt effectively went on strike.
I do take your point though.
He gets a lot of unfair defence as well.I think Liam Bridcutt gets a lot of unfair criticism for leaving us. He was a good player who had a carrot dangled in front of him and it was human nature to take it.

He decided to disrespect the club who gave him a chance, downed tools and went on strike.
Bad apple we are better off without.
Just a small point, Bridcutt never said his head wasn't in the right place. Nathan Jones told Oscar, his head wasn't in the right place, when selecting the squad for a game.
There is a subtle difference.
